Athletic recruiting is akin to buying a car…expect to negotiate. The first offer is rarely the best. We were so surprised at the calls after we politely declined offers that just were not enough to offset the huge sticker prices. And once coaches in the same conference caught wind of said offers, the one-up-man ship started in earnest. Crazy times. The worst was having to “break up” with coaches once the final decision was made. Good luck!
